:: Closing the gaps in English and maths: accelerating progress through successful differentiation, marking and feedback at Key Stage 1 ::

Outline

This course is designed for NQTs and those returning to teaching or new to the key stage. Delegates will have the opportunity to reflect on the pupils in their cohort, unpicking and addressing aspects of reading, writing and maths that can often hold them back.
Participants will explore effective strategies for analysing gaps in pupils’ knowledge and skills, then effectively differentiating, scaffolding and challenging.
Delegates will explore ways in which marking and feedback can be manageably and effectively used, to promote continuous improvement, and enable pupils to become reflective learners.
This course is timed to make the most of the final term - to identify, address and close gaps before the end of the school year.
